1:40 RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN FOREIGN CORRUPT PRACTICES ACT COMPLIANCE

FCPA compliance remains at the top of most international oilfield services companies’ “to do” lists. Recent developments in Brazil’s “Operation Car Wash” involving alleged kickbacks to Petrobras officials, among others, as well as settlement precedents have emphasized the continued regulatory focus on implementing best practices in the compliance realm. Our panel of former U.S. and Assistant U.S. Attorneys will review these developments and discuss the key practices you should be adopting now to ensure compliance.

2:40 HYDRAULIC FRACTURING: STATE AND LOCAL ACTIVITY IN THE OIL PATCH

While federal regulation of hydraulic fracturing has largely focused on government and tribal land operations, state and local activity remains on the upswing. From local fracking bans to state legislative responses, not to mention a new focus on saltwater disposal wells and water recycling, Texas has become a hotbed of activity in this regard. This discussion will focus on what you need to know about current legislative priorities and their potential impact on oilfield services operations.

Protecting your intellectual property in this environment can be extremely difficult and strategically important to your company. This session will discuss key developments in this regard and the impact on your contracting strategies.
